During your child's STEAM activity October 2-8, Mrs. Harris is going to be working on a special animation project with the first grade students. She will need some extra hands to help the children animate his/her weather forecast. If you would be willing to volunteer any days this week from 10:45 to 12:05, she could use some extra hands. You will mainly be helping first graders type and navigate the screen to select specific objects for his/her animation.If you have attended the volunteer training and would be willing to help, please email Angela Harris at aharris@oconeeschools.org. Let her know what day or days you would be willing to come!
